Determinants of metabolic syndrome in obese workers: gender differences in perceived job-related stress and in psychological characteristics identified using artificial neural networks.

The use of these information in surveillance workplace programs might prevent the onset of MS and decrease the chance of negative long-term outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, observational study.
